Setting 1 on the phone Paige and Jason's twins are Eleven.
Peter was on the phone with the
Twins and Paige and Jason talking about Christmas plans.
-Peter- Oh, Jason, Paige! I can't believe how big the twins are getting, and Hoo-Lan just loves visiting you four.
-Jason- And we love having you four over, after all the twins need their playmates.
-Peter- Yep and speaking of getting together. I was wondering if you four would not mind if we came over there for Christmas- I am planning on proposing to Hoo-lan, and I need the twin's help for it.
-Jason- Is it the telepathy?
-Peter- It's the telepathy.
-Rose- Oh that would be so romantic mom please can we do it!?
-Jasmine- Yeah! Please mom!
-Peter, Rose and Jasmine- PLEASE!
-Paige- Why don't you join us for Christmas Eve and stay for Christmas day? Amethyst and Zam are joining us too- You just know the kid's will have a blast.
-Jason- Not to mention the membranes and my in-laws, no empty rooms allowed during this event!
-Peter- Yeah with that many people Hoo-Lan will not suspect a thing.
-Hoo-Lan- I will not suspect what, Krepta?
-Peter- You will not suspect that we are going to celebrate Christmas eve and Christmas day with the Fangs is what I meant- but there it is. So do you want to go?
-Hoo-Lan- DO YOU THINK I WANT TO BE AMONG TELEPATHY!? I am shocked that you had to ask- I will get packed. (He runs off.)
-Peter- Thank you.
-Jason- You're welcome. (They hung up the phone.)
-Paige- I'll call Amethyst and tell her about the other guests.
Setting 2 Vort
Amethyst was packing getting ready to go to Paige's and Jason's house.
-Amethyst- Zam, are you done packing, yet we have to get going.
-Zam- Yeah, I'm almost ready sis. Did you remember to grab the glue and…
-Amethyst- Oh shoot, we may need more glue. (She ran out of her house and right into Quinten) Woah Q I am so sorry. What are you doing here?
- Quinten- I am here to inform you that the Inter Planetary Council wants you to expose me to more culture.
-Amethyst- Wait like what?
- Quinten - Well as the king of my planet I need to learn about other cultures like. Oh well what are you getting ready to go to now? I see you are packing and getting glue… What is going on, my dear?
-Amethyst- Oh well we are going to Earth for Christmas and…
- Quinten - Whats a Christmas?
-Zam- It is the best Earth holiday there is. I mean there are gifts, snowball fights and so much fun you have to see it.
-Zelda- It does sound like fun. Can we go to your highness? Please!
- Quinten - Well if Amethyst says we can then I don't see why not.
-Amethyst- (She looked at the look on her brother's face wanting his friend to come and she said.) I guess I will ask Paige. (She called them.)
-Paige- Amethyst, what's keeping you both? Kidding, Kidding- I just wanted to give you a heads up; A certain fellow's planning on popping the question at our house using telepathy. 3 guesses on who!
-Amethyst- That's too specific to not be Peter.
-Paige- Ding ding ding! Be careful not to say anything to Hoo-Lan when you get here, okay?
-Amethyst- Aw, that sounds so romantic. Don't worry Paige, my lips are sealed. Now I was wondering can the Mothalonias come? You know from our council meetings? Because apparently, I need to expose them to culture. Zam wants Zelda to come please bud?
-Paige- Oh sure, the more the merrier after all our house is Rebecca's old mansion.
-Amethyst- Great see you soon. (She hung up the phone.) Looks like we are going to need to pack more into the ship because you guys are coming. (They all cheered.)
Setting 3 Paige and Jason's House
Christmas Eve
It was Christmas eve and Amethyst and the gang just pulled up in their ship.
-Amethyst- Well there is the house. (She said driving a ship.)
-Zelda- Neat! Um your highness, why did you not just teleport us to Earth?
-Amethyst- Because until I cross the final threshold my powers are a little unstable.
-Zam- I can't wait till I cross the first threshold!
-Zelda- You have never crossed the threshold Zam?
-Zam- Nope! Mom says it was because of the condition of my birth. After all the fighting and mom's disease nearly killing her- it did a number on both of us.
- Quinten - Aw, yes I heard about that attack. What a tragic accident.
-Zam- Yeah , that awful man tried to take my sister and mom away. But we took care of that scum. Esquire is a failure just like everybody else in his stupid family.
-Zelda- Subject change! Let's get to the house and have some fun. No need to think about past trauma! I want to see a tree lit up!
-Zam- Yeah all the lights are so cool. (They landed and went to the front door.)
-Peter- Hey you guys, looks like we got here first.
-Amethyst- Yep! It is so good to see you guys. (Paige came to the door and helped them with their bags.)
-Paige- Oh Amethyst, it is so good to see you! Zam, Mothalolions, thank you for joining us.
-Jason- Yep, sharing culture is very important.
-Zam- Yes, yes, enough talk the time has come to fight in the snow. (He grabbed his coat and the twins and Zelda and ran out to the back yard.)
-Jason- Is it just me or does he have an unhealthy love of competition.
-Amethyst- It's not just you. (They all followed.)
-Hoo-Lan- (He and Peter enjoyed some ice skating while Amethyst, Q, Paige and Jason got to do some fun sledding and the children threw snowballs and made snowmen. It was a lot of winter fun.) This is a lot of fun, Krepta. I love winter. It is blue just like me.
-Peter- I cannot think of something I'd rather be doing right now.
-Amethyst- Look out below! (She just landed next to them on the sled.)
- Quinten - Well that was a lot of fun, Amethyst. What exactly is the reason for celebrating X-mas anyway? (He said as he and Amethyst got onto the ice. Quinten was very good at Ice skating with Amethyst.)
-Peter- Oh I can answer that, Quinten. You see it celebrates the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ and the presents are a tradition started by the Wise Men who gave him presents of gold frankincense and myrrh.
-Hoo-lan- Someone's in teaching mode.
-Pater- Ironically, most of the traditions come from pagan religions that were blended into it over the centuries. If you want I could go more in-depth with you later, Quinten!
- Quinten - Interesting. I would love to give Amethyst a gift.
-Amethyst- Oh you don't have to do that Q, I will be getting enough gifts from…
- Quinten - (He grabbed her hand.) Please, I insist.
-Zelda- (She was near Zam behind their fort.) So Zam, is there anything in particular that you want for X-mas?
-Zam- Honestly, I only want to cross the threshold Zelda. I mean it has been years and it makes me feel inferior to not be crossing it. WHY!
-Rose- Yes attack (She said as she delivered an onslaught of magic snowballs but Zam destroyed them with his fire breath.)
-Zam- Not today.
-Jasmine- We shall see who wins in the end.(They continue to fight.)
-Hope- (They were making a snowman.) You know Faith I invited Valle-Rynne to come over tomorrow and are you listening to me Faith?
-Faith- Huh- oh yeah I am listening! it's just that Hope do you think Hoo-Lan is ready to hear the news I have to tell him
-Hope- Yep, he can take it.
-Faith- I don't know, I mean just look at how much fun he is having. I don't want to ruin it with something he might get mad over.
-Hope- You have to do what you got to do sis.
-Peter- Look! Hoo-Lan I made a figure 8.
-Hoo-Lan- Good one Krepta now I will plié and… (He did that but then he slipped into the snow.)
-Peter- Hoo-Lan! Are you ok?
-Hoo-Lan- Yes, I am fine. (He made a snow angel.)
-Peter- Aw, that is so cute. (The twins created a kind of adorable music to go with the tender moment that Zam ruined by throwing a snowball at Rose.)
-Rose- Oh that is it! You are dead Zam! (She made so many snowballs fly at him, but he tried to destroy them with fire but nothing came out and he and Zelda got drenched.)
-Amethyst- Oh no! Zam, Zelda are you two ok?
-Zam- No, I'm not ok. What happened? Zelda, are you hurt?
-Zelda- No, I am fine. My coat protected my wings from getting wet. So my disguise is still on.
-Zam- I did not know your wings could do that! I thought you used disguise tech.
-Zelda- Haha of course you never knew that, Zam. I never told you that was my power.
-Zam- Huh? That is it, thank you for reminding Zam why we are cold and wet and worst of all why we lost. I can't use my powers! AMETHYST, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ZAM!
-Amethyst- Nothing, Zam you are just crossing the threshold.
-Zam- I am WOOO! I am still so cold.
-Paige- Ooh, we should head in for some hot coco and…
-Amethyst- Hot pluka.
-Paige- What do you say kids? (They all cheered.)
- Quinten- This is nice. I love pluka. It is one of the better Irken cuisines.
-Amethyst- I agree! Glad I packed it in the thermos. Also, Zam you have to go to bed right away.
-Zam- But Amethyst, I am not sleepy. (He said yawning and shivering.)
-Amethyst- Doesn't matter you see, you must get 8 hours of sleep or you will have a hard time controlling your powers tomorrow. Trust me I know how that feels.
-Kierra- Yep, stupid Gir… I will never get over how annoying that day was for you Master.
-Amethyst- Very annoying. Secret was almost blown and everything.
-Zam- Well I guess so… Did you tell mom and dad about the threshold crossing?
-Amethyst- Yep I already did.
-Hoo-Lan- I wonder what powers Zam will get. It could be telepathy!
-Peter- Well, whatever power, he gets I bet he will love it.
- Quinten - So I think I have an understanding of all the X-mas traditions we give gifts because of this Jesus person but who is Santa?
-Zam- He is this big fat man who breaks into your house and gives you gifts instead of taking anything but cookies and milk…
-Quinten- (At the sound of that word he started coughing.) Forgive me Zam but um please never say that word again. I'm not the fondest of space milk.
-Zam- Ok I don't think it's the same thing, but anyway back to the subject of the fat man everybody worships and loves him.
-Jasmine- No he does not break in he uses the chimney…
- Quinten - You mean there is a difference?
-Rose- Don't forget about the reindeer he uses to fly. Oh, I can't wait to go to magic school and learn how to play all of the broom stick games.
-Jasmine- Me too. But first we still need new brooms since we broke our last ones.
-Hoo-Lan- Aw they grow up so fast. Also if I recall correctly it is not just Christmas that is celebrated here right Jason.
-Jason- Yes, you see Quinten my family is Jewish and we did not start celebrating Christmas till after I met Paige.
- Quinten - So what did you celebrate?
-Jason- Hanukkah. which is the Jewish festival of lights. Each year we light the menorah for 8 days to represent the 8 days that the ancient menorah stayed lit at the Jewish temple when they thought they would only have enough oil for one night. It was a miracle that the lights stayed lit for 8 days.
-Jasmine- And every night a different family member gets to light the menorah with their magic. I loved that part the most.
-Rose- Me too! Even more than getting one present each night.
-Zelda- Sounds to me like you guys already got your gifts.
-Jasmine- Well on our dad's side yes, but not our moms.
-Rose- And mom and Dad still have one more gift to give us tomorrow. Hint hint.
-Paige- Oh you two are so silly come on it is time for bed.
-Rose- Wait mom one more thing. (She used her wand to make a mistletoe appear above Hoo-Lan and Peter.)
-Peter- Oh my well- Uh…
-Hoo-Lan- (He kissed Peter who really blushed.) This was a wonderful day Krepta. (They all went to bed.)
-Amethyst- Night Zam, sweet dreams. (She tucked her brother in.)
- Quinten - I am enjoying learning about the earth's cultures with you, Amethyst. So anybody who is caught under the poisonous plant has to kiss.
-Amethyst- Yep, they do. Wait, mistletoe is poisonous? Huh Cool Figure. (She looked up at it.) Oh well night. (She teleported away and went to sleep in her room.)
